Bonds International Casino was a nightclub and music venue located at 42nd Street in Times Square, New York City.

The venue operated as the International Casino in the 1930s, a popular dinner club (not a gambling house).[1] The club closed by 1940, the vacant location later converted to Bond Men's Wear.[1]

Starting in 1980, the location again operated as a nightclub, merging the names of the two previous businesses as Bonds International Casino.[1] The new venue had a capacity of 1,800 people.[2] Notable 1980s performers included Blue Öyster Cult, Blondie and The Clash.

The building now operates as a restaurant.
